A bit disappointing that they only considered public schools from the LA Unified School District. There are many, many private schools and other public school districts within LA that could have been included.
Congratulations to all the lucky fans that may see her! I must say, I am pleased to hear that she is going to New Orleans. The young children affected by Katrina definitely are more worthier of this than any other district in this country.
omg omg omg omg omg omg no no noooo my scool didnt get chossen im goin cry i was like so looking forward to it i cant belive it i was this close to c her
Wished they would have picked some schools from the MS Gulf Coast…they don’t get as much publicity as NOLA though…bummer.
